York minister |
I went on day trip to York, which is situated in the northern part of England. It took about 3 hours by coach from Cambridge.
Firstly I visited York minister. When I saw the appearance of that, I thought
it was a castle, because it is too enormous to be thought as the Cathedral.
In fact apparently it is the largest Cathedral in northern Europe. |
| . Inside the building has been decorated a lot, and there are many huge
stained glasses. The sight from the entrance was absolutely beautiful.

. I also found the statues of the successive kings of England between 11th
and 15th Century. |
| I was able to find statue of Edward 3rd who is famous as the king who led
England to beat France during the hundred years war. In addition when I
was in the Cathedral, the rite of baptism was just celebrated. So I was
able to feel typical religious atmosphere luckily. It was really nice. |

ruins |
Afterward I went to art gallery and Yorkshire museum. Although there was
nothing interesting in their exhibition, the ruins which were in front
of museum were beautiful. I have no idea how they were destroyed, but I
really liked them. |
| Finally I visited the castle and the castle museum. When I found the castle,
I was disappointed, because it was just like a small hill rather than a
castle, and there was nothing special. Nevertheless I went up the long
stairs and intended to go into the castle, but as soon as I found the admission
I left there immediately. It was 2 pounds in spite of the fact that the
building called the castle was just like an observatory. Then I went to
the castle museum. It was interesting in contrast to the castle. I was
able to see how people's life has changed in York. |

Castle? |
| On the whole I really liked York. The city has a unique good atmosphere.
Now I can understand the fact that a lot of tourists visit the city ever
year. |
